Learn Te Reo Maori With Me!
TE REO MAORI SENTENCES
Ka taeā e pai i he rihi parāora
He pai i buttering paraoa
E hiahia ana ahau ki te hoatu pata i runga i toku tōhi
Ko te kai tino o kiore tīhi
kāore i rite ki te reka o te rētihi
i aroha kai, ka te parai i te reira, no te mīti i ona rawa crunchy
tōmato maoa i te tae parakore whero
te tote he reka rerekē soury
Kei te whakamahia te pepa mō te tunu ki te hoatu i te reka ki te kai
He reka rawa ki te reira harāmi hanawiti
Get To Know My Buddy!

Try To Be Like This Man!
BEST ADVERTISEMENT EVER
This ad was awarded for the best advertisement for 2014.
The author has presented to me emotionally about giving to people who have nothing. He/She has started the ad with a caring choice of a man that placed a dead plant onto some pouring water. The author has used a mother and a daughter living in the streets, and a man comes up to donate money to the girl. This catches the audience's attention because people will think the man is so compassionate and generous. At the end everyone changed. All the people who the man helped is now happy.
The author has cleverly repeated the same actions the man did to see the change of the people who he helped. The writer has written that the dog is an abandoned dog and the man came to help the dog to eat. At the end the dog was a loyal pet to the man. The author has made the man help all the people who needs help. This gets the audience attention that there are people who have a lot and should give to the poor.

Never Give Your Phone To Young Kids!
WALHT-use ethos, pathos and logos to persuade my readers.
BAN KIDS WITH PHONES! Young kids that are 1-13 with phones can create a disaster to the family or the community. They can call random people and check things that are not very appropriate for their age.
All the bad things on the phone will be exposed. Kids can call the emergency number and the vehicles will be rushing down to your house. You can create a big mess in the road if you talk about a real emergency when nothing is happening. You will need to pay a fine that is very expensive. Don't give your phone to your young ones!
Young kids can fiddle with your phone and lose them. They might be playing with your phone outside and drop them on the solid concrete. Your screen will break and you might need to buy another phone again. You phone might have costed hundreds of dollars. Kids might click on ads that pop up. The ads may look good but once the screen loads all the inappropriate stuff in the internet goes rushing down. They can watch and look at things that aren't for their age. Kids might get cyber bullied and might lead to anger or suicide.
Never give you phone to your younger sibling.
